‘Tis the season to find a really interesting mix of clean, high value bikes, as well as a sell-off of older, less cared for equipment. For those that have been following RSBFS on a regular basis, you know how hit and miss the collecting world can be. Some months there is no inventory worth writing…
Given the futuristic Star Wars appearance of the bike – as well as the innovative internet-only sales model – I thought the reference to the movie franchise fitting. But what is more amazing is that this bike is purported to be Number One of the two thousand examples created (1k each as 2000 and 2001…
The seller of this 1988 Ducati Paso 750ie takes honesty in advertising in a slightly strange direction, choosing to focus less on the attributes of the bike and more on the potential impact the bike will have on your social engagements.

The brand and…
Bologna showed off the bike that would become the 2002 Ducati MH900e at the 1998 Intermot show, on the 20th anniversary of Mike Hailwood’s comeback win at the 1978 Isle of Man TT.
